الملخص الإنجليزي

This paper identifies the relationship between the auditor’s choice and the bonds ratings.

Our sample includes 823 firms from 35 countries.

The study was conducted over a period of 11 years.

An Ordered Probit regression analysis was used to identify how the auditor choice affects the probability of increasing the bonds ratings.

We find strong evidence that the auditor’s choice significantly affects the bonds ratings.

In other words, when a firm has an auditor from the big five auditing firms, the probability of having higher bonds ratings increases; this implies a low cost of debt since higher bond ratings have been proven to reduce the firm’s cost for raising funds (in the form of bonds).

The findings add more evidence to the creditors’ rights protections and how it affects the cost of debt
